No doubt many of you have already seen this, but for those that have not I felt compelled to share it. Life changes forever in a moment and when this landed on my desk this morning, it gave me goosebumps. If everyday we thought it was the last day we were going to see someone, oh how different everything would be...

'Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything -- all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure -- these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.'

(Steve Jobs, 1955 -- 2011)

On a different note, here's a few of my favourites for the week. Have a wonderful weekend!

About Me

The idea for ‘Little Fish are Sweet’ was born from the realisation I had a thousand fabulous stories about the pieces I buy, the places I travel to for my business, and the countless inspirational people I’m exposed to on my journeys around the globe. But...I had no one to tell them to!
So I thought, why not start a blog about the wonderful world of antiques!
I love beautiful things and for me quality is more important than quantity, hence my Blog name ‘Little Fish are Sweet’.
Why am I so passionate about antiques? The quality is virtually unmatched by anything we see today.
My only rules are ... quality, beauty and always that certain je ne sais quoi!
